Glamping with Hyatt Points, Bilt Rent Day and More

Glamping with Hyatt Points: You can now earn and redeem World of Hyatt points at 13 Under Canvas glamping sites. Under Canvas is part of the Mr. and Mrs. Smith umbrella, and award prices are dynamic. See this link for available glamping properties, most of which are located near U.S. national parks.

Bilt August 2024 Rent Day Promotions: Sail on Virgin Voyages with a 2nd guest free, and more promotions! See this post on View from the Wing for more details.

Amex Gold Annual Fee Increase: The Amex Gold card just announced a higher annual fee (new few is $325, old fee was $250). Of course, this fee comes with some benefits I don’t see myself using (Dunkin’ Donuts?) See this post on Travel On Points for all the details.

New No-fee Credit Card for Paying Tuition: Now THIS is exciting news since I have one kid in college and two more on the way. This card looks similar to Bilt, but it’s for paying school tuition without a transaction fee. See all the details on Miles to Memories. I signed up on the waitlist.

Let’s Unpack Overtourism, Shall We?: This is a deep, thoughtful post on God Save the Points that is worth the read. I don’t hate the players (since I am one). But, I still blame Instagram for the bottleneck of people at scenic places who spend too much time on photoshoots.

Enjoy your weekend!
